APEX Tech Acquisition Inc. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on August 29, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected August 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s founder and sponsor is APEX INNOVATION ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Sponsor”).
As of May 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from August 29, 2025 (inception) through May 31, 2026, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to completing the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), as described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and sale of Private Shares (as defined below).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on February 25, 2026. On February 27, 2026, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,197,131 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of 1,197,131 Units granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right to receive one-fourth (1/4) of one ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $111,971,310.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 208,971 units (the “Private Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,089,710, which is described in Note 4.
On April 10, 2026, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 302,869 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The closing of the over-allotment option occurred on April 15, 2026, generating additional gross proceeds of $3,028,690. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 3,029 Private Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $30,285. As a result, the Company sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 Public Units and 212,000 Private Units.
Transaction costs amounted to $1,582,000 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting commissions which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO and over-allotment, $77,800 estimated fair value of the Representative Shares (discussed in the below), and $354,200 of legal and other offering costs. At the IPO date, cash of $584,080 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
In conjunction with the IPO, the Company issued to the underwriter 50,000 ordinary shares for no consideration (the “Representative Shares”). The fair value of the Representative Shares accounted for as compensation under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) is included in the offering costs. The estimated fair value of the Representative Shares as of the IPO date totaled $77,800.
Following the closing of the IPO on February 27, 2026 and over-allotment option on April 15, 2026, an amount of $115,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and Private Units in the IPO and over-allotment was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds placed in the Trust Account are initially to be held in cash, including demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company. The proceeds from this offering held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of the initial business combination, or (2) to public shareholders, until the earliest of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.
The Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of execution of the definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for the post-transaction company not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company does not believe that its anticipated principal activities will subject the Company to the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO and over-allotment, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will obtain the approval of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attended and voted at a general meeting of the Company. The Company will have 15 months from the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 to consummate its initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company anticipates that it may be unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within 15 months, it may seek shareholder approval to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the deadline (“Extension Period”) by which it must complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s rights, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within Combination Period or during any extension period.
The Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) except as described below, are identical to the ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (a) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below; (b) the Company’s initial shareholders have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated the Company’s initial business combination within the timeframe set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 or during any extension period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the Company’s initial business combination within the prescribed time frame) and (c) are entitled to certain registration rights to provide for the resale of such shares under the Securities Act. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, its founder has agreed (and its permitted transferees will agree) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction) in favor of its initial Business Combination. The other members of the Company’s management team have entered into agreements similar to the one entered into by the Company’s Sponsor with respect to any public shares acquired by them in or after this offering.
Furthermore, the Sponsor has agreed (A) to vote the ordinary shares underlying the private units, or “private shares,” in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would stop the Company’s public shareholders from converting or selling their shares to the Company in connection with a business combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete a business combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering, unless the Company provide public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares from the trust account in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any private shares for cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Company’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, and (D) that the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor has also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the initial shares and provided that the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the initial shares must agree to, each as described above) until 30 days after the completion of its initial business combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Company’s Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
Going Concern Consideration
As of May 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $2,667 and a working capital deficit of $14,351. The Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. The loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and shall be payable promptly after the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its securities or the date on which the Company determines not to conduct an initial public offering of its securities. The loan was repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account.
Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination.
The Company initially has 15 months from the effective date of the registration statement to consummate the initial Business Combination (assuming no extensions). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will wind up, dissolve and liquidate pursuant to the terms of its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Notwithstanding management’s belief that the Company would have sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that business combination might not happen within the 15-month period from the closing of the IPO. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, management believes that it would be prudent to include in its disclosure language about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period (assuming no extensions).
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.
As a result of the ongoing global conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and potential future sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
